(02.02)Line segment EF is shown on a coordinate grid: A coordinate plane is shown. Line segment EF has endpoints negative 3 comm
a 2 and negative 1 comma 2. The line segment is reflected about the x-axis to form E'F'. Which statement describes E'F'? E'F' and EF are equal in length. E'F' is half the length of EF. E'F' is greater than twice the length of EF. E'F' and EF are perpendicular.

Answer:
E'F' and EF are equal in length
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
The coordinates of point E(-3,2) and F(-1,2)
we know that
The rule of the reflection across the x-axis is
(x,y) ------> (x,-y)
so
Applying the rule of reflection across the x-axis
E(-3,2) -------> E'(-3,-2)
F(-1,2) --------> F'(-1,-2)
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
therefore
E'F' and EF are equal in length

Answer:
We have the system of equations:
y=1/3x+5
y=2/3x+5
To solve it graphically, we need to graph both lines and see in which point the lines intersect.
You can see the graph below, and you can see that the lines intersect in the point (0, 5)
Now, we can also solve this analytically.
We can use the fact that for the solution, we need y = y.
Then we can write:
(1/3)*x + 5 = (2/3)*x + 5
First, we can subtract 5 in both equations to get:
(1/3)*x = (2/3)*x
This only has a solution when x = 0.
Replacing x = 0 in one of the equations, we get:
y = (1/3)*0 + 5 = 5
Then the solution is x = 0, and y = 5, as we already could see in the graph.
